SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CALCULATING TIME BASED METRICS

A system and method for generating a number of differing metrics is described and taught. Generally, the metrics are related but not limited to aeronautics and flying, and may be used for a variety of fields and purposes. The generated electrical signal produced by a transducer type sensor is typically but not limited to a time based metric that can be readily converted to and from a number of statistical measures. Thus, from the same electrical signal gathered by the system, metrics relating to weight, pressure, volume, etc. can be calculated and displayed singularly or simultaneously to provide a calculation specific to that industry such as time remaining. Some of the metric values may be stored on a memory for use at a later time. Additionally, a displayed metric that falls outside of a generally accepted range for that metric may generate an audible and/or visual alarm.
